Browsing data on tax office workstations (Julkis software)
You can browse the public information on tax assessment in Tax Administration offices that have workstations for the customers. The workstations are available during the opening hours of each tax office.
Addresses of tax offices, opening hours
Please note that the information accessed on tax office workstations cannot be printed out, copied, emailed, or saved on flash drives or other such devices. However, you can make notes when using the workstation. Because the information accessed is public, you can view it without authentication and your browsing history is not recorded.
Individual taxpayers
In the public information on individual income taxes, public identifying information includes the individual’s name, year of birth, and county. An individual’s county is the county in which the individual’s municipality of domicile was at the end of the year before the tax year.
Death estates with a Business ID are not identified by the year of birth.
Non-resident taxpayers, i.e. individuals who are considered to live outside Finland according to the act on income tax (Tuloverolaki 1535/1992), are listed under the county of the Tax Administration unit that conducted the individual’s tax assessment (Uusimaa or Åland Islands).

A foreign death estate does not have a home municipality. The tax assessment of a foreign estate is conducted by the Tax Administration unit assigned for it. However, the information on where the assessment was conducted is not public information.
Year of birth / Business ID
Foreign death estates are identified either by the deceased person’s year of birth or by the Business ID assigned to the estate.
If you cannot find the person when searching by name and year of birth, try searching by name only.
